Read more about the cruise
After welcoming you onboard, we head to the amazing Red Beach, identified by the iron-enriched cliffs of magma that surround the bay. We’ll enjoy some great snorkeling to experience some of the region’s uniqueness. Swim on White Beach, where you can relax on secluded beaches that can only be accessed by boat. The surrounding limestone cliffs were pushed to the surface from the volcanic activity thousands of years ago. The names of these amazing natural bays are derived from the colorful geologic layers left as a result of the volcanic eruption.
Sail past the Ancient City of Akrotiri. This settlement was destroyed in the last great Thiran eruption around 1627 BC. Relax as you take in the amazing views of the picturesque caldera of the volcano of the Indian Rocks as well as the Venetian Lighthouse of Crete off in the distance. Swim to the famous Hot Springs produced from a still-active volcano. Both a destructive and a creative force, the volcano has been defining Santorini’s fate and shaping its unique landscapes for millennia. Upon arrival, you will notice the change in the color of the sea from deep blue to a rich red.
Enjoy a delicious local lunch made up of authentic, unique Greek products from Santorini, Crete and Naxos, including a variety of Greek salads, fresh fruit, vegetables, local meats and cheeses, and locally baked bread. The meal provides for yet another delicious interpretation of the unique Greek culture. Once more, we hoist the sails for an invigorating sail back to our base through the picturesque, awe-inspiring scenery, which until now, you’ve only seen in pictures.
